Abstract

Recent results relating the channel bit rate to the variability of received signal strength at a moving antenna in dense scatterers stimulated a renewed critical interest in the modulation specified for the Pan-European GSM cellular radio link. Cogent questions arise concerning link performance at the extremes of vehicle speed and delay spread.
